F150 Ecoboost Reliability
A friend is looking at a 2013 F150 Ecoboost and I'm wondering how these are doing reliability wise. What was the first year for the Ecoboost?

What turbo engine in boost, i.e. more air, doesn't require more fuel?
I love how the "eco" or "boost" talk is somehow an indictment against the Ecoboost. Yeah, my diesel didn't get very good mileage, either, when my foot was in it. Come to think of it, it didn't get great mileage regardless.
Both of my EBs have been pretty much spot on with the EPA mileage estimates, for what its worth. The little 2.7 is averaging a bit over 21 mpg at this point, with not much extended freeway driving to speak of. Towing starts next month, so we'll see how she does.
